(New Jersey governor) Chris Christie is at a press conference now announcing that he reimbursed the state for the personal use of a state helicopter when he went to a son's baseball game.

He paid back the state $2,100 and explained he had been initially told by the head of the state police that there was nothing to be paid (since the helicopters are required to be used a certain number of hours anyway).

Christie coolly explained this, and I have to admit I believe him (even if I still think he's a fat, overbearing jerk).

I also believe this was a sign that he will be seeking higher office (president?) and he is attempting to clean up any possible problems in his "past".
